What we do

What we do

Andrew Flick and David Housler are dedicated government grants consultants specialising in the R&D Tax Incentive for the software and technology industry.

Together we have experience in delivering for software and tech companies the key government program — the R&D Tax Incentive. For this program we assist with determining your eligible projects and activities, as well as the maximum amount of eligible expenditure that can be claimed for those R&D projects.

Based on outcomes delivered by Innercode consultants, the scenarios below illustrate the benefits we offer to our clients:

We create tax refunds
What if you’re a startup social sales company and you’ve incurred $300k in R&D expenses from developing a new software service? With no sales in that year, you’ve found yourself in an unprofitable situation. Through the R&D Tax Incentive, you could obtain a $135,000 tax refund through the extra R&D benefit and cashed out tax losses. We would also set you up in the right company structure to be able to claim.

We save tax
Let’s say you’re a profitable Enterprise Resource Planning consultant and you’ve incurred $350k in R&D expenses from developing modules to license to your customers. With the right advice about the R&D Tax Incentive, you could save an extra $52,500 in tax savings, allowing you to keep those funds in the company to spur your development.

Who we are

Who we are

Andrew Flick and David Housler founded Innercode because they wanted to do something different.

We are passionate about a future for software and technology companies. As R&D Tax Incentive specialists, we’re among the few in our profession dedicated to working with the software and technology sector to ensure they have access to the resources they need to support growth and innovation.

The advice we provide is the result of our industry experience. This has allowed us to develop valuable knowledge to protect our clients from the impact of costly mistakes, enabling you to maximise your R&D Tax Incentive claims and above all to save you time.

We believe Australian software & technology businesses deserve more than a cookie-cutter approach when it comes to consulting, especially when you’re just starting out.

Our combined understanding of R&D and Tax disciplines not only provides the required compliance of tax and accounting, but unlocks the entitled benefits of the federally funded R&D Tax Incentive scheme.

What we think

What we think

Andrew Flick and David Housler believe in the Australian technology community.

We want to help small companies become big.
You have to start somewhere but without the right backing it can be tough to get out of the starters blocks and then you’re always playing catch-up. It’s never too late to turn your dream into a plan and work towards achieving it.

We want to help provide the best chances for the technology of tomorrow.
Where would we be without technology? It’s part of everything we do. The possibilities of tomorrow’s technology are endless and the innovation we see from this sector is exciting to watch.

We believe in an Aussie startup community, both today and into the future.
If Australia doesn’t support its own innovators they will seek support elsewhere, leave our shores and ultimately contribute to a foreign economy. We’re committed to helping startups get the support they need, and are entitled to, here at home first.

We won’t try to be all things to all people.
We are dedicated to software and tech companies only and from that dedication we can do the very best for them.
